Have you put your Kill-a-watt on it? it would be interesting to know if it ever goes into defrost mode, or if it's energy consumption is much higher than it used to be.
I glued some magnet tape to the back of a wireless digital thermometer display and tossed the remote sensor in my fridge some time ago. The magnetic readout has nice big numbers on it so I can see what the fridge temperature is running, as well as the high/low for the day.
